• Local government
• Not for profits

What the program funds

The NSW EPA is working to reduce good quality food from being sent to landfill. Food Rescue Grants are available to expand food rescue and relief capacity to safely manage increasing amounts of rescued food in NSW. The objectives of this grant are to: increase the diversion (i.e. rescue) of quality food suitable for human consumption from landfill; and support NSW food rescue and relief organisations to expand their capacity to manage increasing amounts of rescued food to provide to the community.

How to apply

Applications for Food Rescue Grants Round 2 are made through Environment Protection Authority, not through GrantWindow. We do not take applications, charge a fee or act as an intermediary, and any site that offers to apply on your behalf for a government grant is worth a very careful look.

Applications close in October 2025. Government grant portals are busiest on the final day and several of them close on the stroke of the deadline, so the practical advice is to submit a day early.

This round is closed. Many Australian grant programs run again, and a closed program is the reason the alert list exists: we watch this page nightly and tell the list the day it reopens.
